Protruding Load Marker - 1520 x 300mm - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

A non-reflective Protruding Load Marker is designed to clearly indicate when a load extends beyond the standard dimensions of a vehicle—such as long lengths of timber, piping, or machinery projecting from the rear or sides of trucks, trailers, or utility vehicles. It serves as a visual warning to other road users and workers, making it especially important during transportation through public roads, work zones, or construction and industrial areas.

These markers are essential for reducing the risk of accidents, property damage, or personal injury, by drawing attention to the extended parts of a load. Their use is often a legal requirement when cargo extends beyond a specific threshold—commonly more than one metre past the vehicle's rear or sides—ensuring compliance with transport and safety regulations.

While non-reflective, these markers are highly visible through their bright colours which making them effective in daylight or well-lit environments. They are lightweight, easy to attach, and suitable for both temporary and regular transport needs, providing a practical solution for marking oversised loads.

In conclusion, the Protruding Load Marker (non-reflective) is a vital safety accessory for vehicles carrying extended cargo. It enhances load visibility, helps meet legal safety standards, and plays a key role in protecting both road users and equipment during transit.
